Make a Splash

Looking good in (and out of) the pool

Sunbathing in last season’s swimwear? Someone alert the fashion police. Fortunately, Las Vegas has plenty of shopping options to help you make a splash at the pool this summer. We discovered fun pieces at these stores at Cosmopolitan Las Vegas and the Forum Shops at Caesars.

Michael Kors

Ladies, you don’t need to break the bank for a nice pair of designer shades. The Taylor provides 100% UV protection and comes with a hard case and cleaning cloth.

Shown in champagne, tortoise and black.

$99 each, The Forum Shops; www.caesarspalace.com

San Diego Hat Co.

You’ll wilt in a Sin City second without a good sun hat. This one of paper straw and polyester has a ribbed finish and an 8-inch brim. It’s Hollywood glamour meets desert drab.

Tired of teetering in stilettos? These leather flats have a lightly padded foot bed and durable outsole, with the designer’s name on gold-tone hardware. Shown in tangerine, optic white, pink and black.

Bloom like a desert flower in this rose-patterned bikini. The triangle top (with easily removable chicken fillets) ties around the neck and back; the bottom ties on the sides.
